An axiomatic characterization of the Hirsch-index
نویسنده
چکیده
The Hirsch-index is a well-known index for measuring and comparing the output of scientific researchers. The main contribution of this article is an axiomatic characterization of the Hirsch-index in terms of three natural axioms. Furthermore, two other scientific impact indices (called the w-index and the maximum-index) are defined and characterized in terms of similar axioms. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An axiomatization of the Hirsch-index without adopting monotonicity
The Hirsch-index is an index for measuring and comparing the output of researchers. Under the condition of monotonicity, Woeginger [7] provides a characterization of the Hirsch-index by three axioms in 2008. Replacing monotonicity by expansion consistency, we characterize the Hirsch-index by only two of Woeginger’s axioms. Besides, we also introduce an axiom contraction consistency. It is a dua...
متن کاملWoeginger's axiomatisation of the h-index and its relation to the g-index, the h(2)-index and the R2-index
Recently Woeginger [Woeginger, G. H. (2008-a). An axiomatic characterization for the Hirsch-index.Mathematical Social Sciences. An axiomatic analysis of Egghe’s g-index. Journal of Informetrics] introduced a set of axioms for scientific impact measures. These lead to a characterization of the h-index. In this note we consider a slight generalization and check which of Woeginger’s axioms are sat...
